Bahh there's huge money involved I agree. But to say that you can buy title, is a bit off. Take a look at Real Madrid for example. With all the players they have and all the money they have they haven't been even in the CL finals since 2001.

Money is a problem so as selling/buying players, but at least that gave some popularity.

I don't know about MLS, but all I read is that for the last two times LA def. Houston. Sounds like no competition there.

What German clubs did this year at CL is another example how there's still chance of beating big money clubs.
